Comment Post #281486 @dmckee I am not sure about QFile/QTextStream performance. Current code uses them, so I will give them a try. For the moment I would like to get rid of the central writer thread. Question is still open: Is it allowed to call QFile and QTextStream methods from multiple threads (with or without a mutex...

Comment Post #281496 @ArtOfCode I guess the second notification was due to my successful retry. I deleted that one as well. However this means the failed tries didn't create any notifications.

Comment Post #281496 First one was "Your solution is how I have solved it currently (well, a bit more complex but it boils down exactly to your idea). However moving the file work into a single writer thread does not scale." But as I said, other comments also didn't work. I tried many times. I just retried and now it wor...

Question Editing tags failed?
I edited the tags of my very first Codidact question: https://software.codidact.com/posts/281486 Someone proposed the "python" tag. Since I am working with C++, I removed the "multithreading" tag and added "C++". (I am not sure if that was a good idea. But that is not my problem.) Current state ...

Question Write to same file from multiple threads
I want to write a text file from multiple threads. The file structure is line-oriented. This means writing of lines should be atomic. I am using Qt 5.15.2. Is it enough to protect a shared QTextStream/QFile pair using a QMutex? EDIT: For now using dmckee's‭ solution I have solved it (well...
